Mine love COOKIES - I usually get cheap oatmeal cookies - they hear that bag rattle and there's no stopping them. It's the easiest way to move them from one pasture to another or get them to go where they don't want, just rattle the bag and here they come running! We also use cookies as a way to calm them and get them to trust us, we'll start by tossing a cookie to them, but eventually, they must come and take them out of our hands. Now all our sheep will come right up to us if they think there's a cookie to be had!

We have found that our sheep really enjoy bread but find that if lambs are not raised eating it with mom they don't usually take to it. But I have several bottle babies that have found that they love round nacho chips. Just the plain ones. They will hear the bag rattle and come running. One even likes a slice of banana! just a thought for some who like to give a little extra.
